Prior to this commit, registering ENS subdomains would fail due to `defaultAccount`
being null. This is because the underlying API was still relying on `blockchain:defaultAccount:get`.
However since the bigger refactor, every plugin/module is in charge of creating its own
blockchain connector instance and ensuring it has a default account.
This commit makes use of ENS' module's `webDefaultAccount` async getter to
ensure a valid default account is set when registering an ENS subdomain.
Users can turn of blockchain support if they want to using the blockchain.js
configuration. In practice however, this has never properly worked as several
places in Embark's codebase weren't actually honoring that configuration value.
This commit introduces the necessary changes so that disabling blockchain support will:
No longer generate blockchain related EmbarkJS artifacts
No longer try to deploy Smart Contracts but still compile them
This commit removes the need for `EmbarkJS.onReady()` and `EmbarkJS.Blockchain.blockchainConnector` APIs
in the ENS provider implementation and instead relies purely on vanilla `Web3`. This comes
with the effect that `EmbarkJS.Names` needs to figure out itself what to connect
to, as well as when a connection has been established.
To make that possible, `EmbarkJS.Names` now implements a similar algorithm to
`EmbarkJS.Blockchain` that tries to connect different endpoint, given a `dappConnection`
configuration.
If no `dappConnection` configuration is given via `namesystem.json`, Embark will fallback
to the same connection list that's provided in `contracts.js|json`.

Turns out that, when Embark tries to replace ENS subdomains, it would fail
if `subdomains` aren't defined in the namesystem configuration.
This commit adds a safeguard so that not defining `subdomains` is fine.
This commit fixes the issue that it wasn't possible anymore to use named constructor arguments
in Smart Contract configurations.
For example, the following Smart Contract expects two constructor arguments:
```solidity
contract SomeContract {
constructor(address[] _addresses, int initialValue) public {}
}
```
The first being a list of addresses, the second one a number. This can be configured as:
```js
SomeContract: {
args: [
["$MyToken2", "$SimpleStorage"],
123
]
}
```
Notice how the order of arguments matters here. `_addresses` come first in the constructor,
so they have to be defined first in the configuration as well.
Another way to configure this is using named arguments, which is what's broken prior to this commit:
```js
SomeContract: {
args: {
initialValue: 123,
_addresses: ["$MyToken2", "$SimpleStorage"]
}
}
```
Using a notation like this ^ the order no longer matters as Embark will figure out the right
values for the constructor arguments by their names.
The reason this is broken is because there are several modules in Embark that register and
run a `deployment:contract:beforeDeploy` action, which are allowed to mutate this configuration
object. One of those modules is the `ens` module, which searches for ENS names in the arguments
and figure out whether it has to replace it with a resolved address.
One thing that particular module didn't take into account is that `args` could be either and
array, or an object and will always return an array, changing the shape of `args` in case it was
an object.
This is a problem because another module, `ethereum-blockchain-client`, another action is registered
that takes this mutated object in `determineArguments()` and ensure that, if `args` is actually an
object, the values are put in the correct position matching the constructor of the Smart Contract in
question.
One way to solve this was to use the newly introduced [priority](https://github.com/embark-framework/embark/pull/2031) and ensure
that `ens` action is executed after `ethereum-blockchain-client`'s.
However, the actual bug here is that the ENS module changes the shape of `args` in the first place,
so this commit ensures that it preserves it.
When making use of the `useBuiltIns: 'usage'` option for @babel/preset-env
(which is the case for all transpiled packages in Embark's monorepo) a package
needs to have both @babel/runtime-corejs3 and core-js@3 specified as
dependencies.
BREAKING CHANGE:
node: >=10.17.0 <12.0.0
npm: >=6.11.3
yarn: >=1.19.1
node v10.17.0 is the latest in the 10.x series and is still in the Active LTS
lifecycle. Embark is still not compatible with node's 12.x and 13.x
series (because of some dependencies), otherwise it would probably make sense
to bump our minimum supported node version all the way to the most recent 12.x
release.
npm v6.11.3 is the version that's bundled with node v10.17.0.
yarn v1.19.1 is the most recent version as of the time node v10.17.0 was
released.
